taken enterprises during the present
year that have proved unsuccessful, we
can now, Oh looking back over the
ground, see more clearly what our miss
take was or wherein we failed. and bv
having undergone such experiences we
are 10y far the better Oft, We have
been taught lessons which we might
Use never heve learned. aud i IN
u future undertakings the great val
ne of them will be apparent to Us, if
now they yet seem unnecessary and
unproductive of good. There is a les
10 In all our failures if we will but
regard them in the proper light. So
long as We profit by what has occurred
during the year now drawing to a close,
it will not have been wasted. The ex
perience Of the old year will make our
success during the new more assured,
for we have learned what shoals TO
avoid in the sea Of life. If our bark
has just ground over the rocky reefs
with bnt slight injury, let us feel thank
ful 1t we are not entirely wrecked
The closing of another year will also
remind many Of the necessity of acting
in the present rather than postponing

The Closing Of the Year.

A few more days and the year which
TO some has brought happiness and to
others misfortune, will be added to
those which have passed before it.
Many will during the present month
sit in retrospective thought over the
events which have marked the year in
their lives. To the young the years
speed not fast enough to the old they
are all too short. The young man EN-
ploys the closing of one year in pre-
pairing for the next, the aged man
muses. over the events of past years
and contemplates the mysteries of the
future. In the lives Of many the year
has proved a memorable one, while IN
those of others it has been marked
with no special events. The hopes OF
one have reached fruition, the aspira-
tons of another have fallen short OF
success. And thus the last days oil
December will bring alike pleasant and
sad memories. There Is a lesson to be
drawn from the close of every year
that NAV we'll teach us Of the opening
of the new one. 1t is from deriving
profit from the past that we can I'M

Cats In Bustles and Dogs In Muffa.

Fashion has long been favorable to dogs.
Cats are now coming forward. Some
charming bellies at Luchon thought this
season of using the Pyrenean cat-which
Is a pretty creature, and not so wild RS 1t
looks-as a suivez moi, jeune homme.
The notion sprang up in this way. A
beauty down there was given, in one Of
her excursions, a lovely cat. But rs her
arms were laden with mountain flowers,
how carry it? A peasant suggested cut
ting a hole at one OF the ends Of a hand
basket for needlework, just large enough
for the cats neck to be held In without
strangulation when the lid was fastened
down. AS the basket was padded and
lined with satin, and bediZened with
fringe and ribbons, pussy did not object
to being "A prisoner therein, and to being
placed on the lady's hustle As a pack.
There was no other means of carrying the
feline unless there. So the basket was
fitted up with strings TO tie OF to the
waist; and so borne into Luchon. The
arrangement was daring, original and
piquant. 1t found imitators, and in q few
days there were not P%yrenean cats enough
for the ladies' busties. Fashion even
dared to invade the sanctuary at Lourdes
with q mountain tom or tabby on the dor
sal hump.
A fashion prophet tells me that next
winter the back part Of the muff will con
tain a pouch in which u cat Is to lie. A
contrivance Of this sort was first hit upon
by M>ie. Schneider for her black and tan
terrier, which regarded the inside of the
muf as a prison and wanted to look about
when keeping the hands of his mistress
warm. The Duchess de Bauffremont
then took mp the arrangement and used to
carry about as many puppies as could fit
into the pouch. Princess Isabeau de
Beauvais Craon used TO remind me Of a
maternal kangaroo. Her muff had the
pocket in front and n parcel OF pups
heads Of various breed pceped from out
OF the opening ut the top.-Paris Cor.

A Mica Pool.

New York, Dec. 22.-T'he newest poo !
that is talked of is in mica. The COM
binations which have been made to al
vance the price of tin, copper, zinc and
lead have been SO successful that there
are inquiries with n view of securing the
entire control Of the production Of mica
in the United States. This is the desire
because the mining of mica has
always been so unceatain that with few
exceptions operations have been unpro-
fitable. 1t will not be difficult to secure
the entire stock, as the amount mined
in this country is comparatively small.
This is not owing &c the scarcity so much
az to the comparatively few mine where
it can be taken out in sufficient guam
titles to make it pay. The supply in
dealers hands is never large, and the
scheme is likely to prove very profta-
BILE from the fact that the demand from
the stove dealers will be unusually
heavy next wear.

II is a favoritc plan Of the promoters OF
American enterprise 10 seek capital III
Europe, notably in London and Amstcr-
lam, 1t is not an easy task by any means
10 induce foreign capitalists to invest in
new projects on this side of the water,
especially since there have been SO many
enterprises taken up by them In which
their none has been spent without re-
turn, and they are apt TO look upon every
thing that has an American stamp AS n
wholesale swindle until they have looked
closely into it. But they are not without
tricks themselves in London. The presi-
dent Of a leading railroad corporation who
has raised large amounts of money there
at different times for various enterprises
said the other day: you can toe sure of
nothing in London in raising none until
you have the cash in bank. / had 81 ,000,-
600 already counted out for me and the
papers drawn and ready to sign, and yet
had the money put back in the vaults and
the papers back into my pocket. London
Is full Of financial blackmailers, and it
was one OF these that rung in his little
game on me. 1t cost me at least 800, 600
10 get my negotiation through, but | had
the satisfaction Of knowing that the black
mailer got no money from it.
They watch the American newspapers
for accounts of new enterprises that are
likely to seek capital abroad, and then
they watch on that side OF the water for
the man who is TO negotiate the securities
aud cleverly manage to ingratiate them
selves by proffered assistance and other
wise, so rs TO be in q position to know
every stage of his progress. They will
wait until the last moment before his
negotiation is conducted and then strike
him. They generally have a newspaper
at their back and frequently succeed in
soaring their victim into paying a good
round i'll to prevent an attack on his
scheme, which he knows will be disturb
ing and disastrous to his enterprise, even
though unfounded upon any reasonable or
just claim. After one or W. experiences
in London, / have always made my trips
there with the utmost secrecy, allowing
no newspaper mention to be made at
home of my departure. IN my arrival
there ! have zone to unfrequented hotels
out OF the way Of friends and acquaint-
ances, until all my negotiations were con
cluded. That is the safest way."-New

The purchasers are known to be in France

Already their purchases. which are II

latter price that the Frenchmen are
now buying.
Although lead is produced largely in
the United States, the mines cannot be
worked fast enough t. meet the demand
or home consumption. Manufacturers
oflead pipe, sheet lead, shot and lead
paints have required SO much that it
was found necessary to import tie
metal, even with n 81 duty upon it.
Over a thousand tons have been bought
up and exported for the French account,
and the shortage is expected to affec'
the market seriously should the foreig-
ners continue to buy.
1t is known that small lots have been
quietly bought up in England, Spain and
other European markets, until they are
